A window you say? Well why don't we open it up then?
Cats, pretty flowers and lit candles. There are no better things found in a windowsill...
Inside my journal
I feel a bit like I'm neglecting my journal these days. There's so much I want to do and even though it's vacation time there seems so be so little of it... Time...
So again it is a bit rushed... But if I get more than a few weeks behind I'll probably never get them done, so better rushed than not at all...
The teary drawing I did on an old book page so I thought it fitting to use another old book page on the opposite side. I layered more tiles underneath the Girdy monotangle.
ATC #2: Tea for two...
What is much more exciting is my journey into mixed media...
Yesterday I made my second ATC, but the first mixed media ATC. (The first was 'just' zentangle.)
I made this intending to use it in a swap on swap-bot. But yet again I'm having attachment issues...
It's just so weird sending my stuff into the word when for the past half year I have crammed most of it into my journal.
As this is a first I will keep it to myself. So I made another! lol.
The backing is a piece from a cereal box. On that I glued a page from an old book I found in a secondhand store and painted it with white and some pearly white. Then I drew the teacup and flowers, added watercolor, cut out and glued them on along with a tiny teabag on a string and the word tea.
And then dabbed just a pinch of gold. I have to say I'm quite fond of it!
I just might have to make one with a teapot too...
This was fun! I have so many ideas for future ATCs I can't wait to get started!
Incoming from Swap-bot...
I absolutely love getting snail-mail!
Especially when it's so pretty as this one... Look at that pretty doodled envelope.
And such a beautiful Owl card she made me!
My swap-partner also sent me some tiles (in my favorite color no less) that she drew a string on. That is an awesome idea and I am stealing it for future swaps with zentangle partners!
I tangled one of the tiles today.
I am also working on another ATC...

Wow, your window is amazing! I loved to do houses with doors & windows that opened as a child but they were never that small
